| contents | Real-time systems are intrinsic components of many pivotal applications, such as self-driving vehicles, aerospace and defense systems. The trend in these applications is to incorporate multiple tasks onto fewer, more powerful hardware platforms, e.g., multi-core systems, mainly for reducing cost and power consumption. Many real-time tasks, like control tasks, can tolerate occasional deadline misses due to robust algorithms. These tasks can be modeled using the weakly-hard model. Literature shows that leveraging the weakly-hard model can relax the over-provisioning associated with designed real-time systems. However, a wide-range of the research focuses on single-core platforms. Therefore, we strive to extend the state-of-the-art of scheduling weakly-hard real-time tasks to multi-core platforms. We present a global job-level fixed priority scheduling algorithm together with its schedulability analysis. The scheduling algorithm leverages the tolerable continuous deadline misses to assigning priorities to jobs. The proposed analysis extends the Response Time Analysis (RTA) for global scheduling to test the schedulability of tasks. Hence, our analysis scales with the number of tasks and number of cores because, unlike literature, it depends neither on Integer Linear Programming nor reachability trees. Schedulability analyses show that the schedulability ratio is improved by 40% comparing to the global Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling and up to 60% more than the global EDF scheduling, which are the state-of-the-art schedulers on the RTEMS real-time operating system. Our evaluation on industrial embedded multi-core platform running RTEMS shows that the scheduling overhead of our proposal does not exceed 60 Nanosecond. |
